My Hyundai Coupe V6

[Zenithus]

I thought I'd actually start a topic on it, just to keep all my thoughts together more than anything else!

Hyundai Coupe Gen3 2.7 V6
------------------
2656cc
165bhp
181lb-ft torque
28mpg combined (LIES)

Electric sunroof, mirrors, windows
Climate control
Cruise control
Leather interior

Now I don't have anything planned for it yet, I want to at least get university out of the way first so that puts everything off till June, but a couple of people have mentioned de-tangoing the exterior, by way of fitting the Gen3.5 tail and headlights, which might be a nice easy option.
Performance-wise, it might be a possibility to get the engine quickly chipped, as i'm sure theres a lot of untapped power in there, and that could quickly add 20+ bhp without much trouble.

Anyway, for now I'll just share a couple of pics from the Leicester meet up here, where I actually managed to keep up with the much-better-handling Pumas in front of me

Heres a Hyundai V6 weve played with, we didnt do the graphics, just some engine upgrades. Sounds nice, wish it went as good as it sounds though!!!

165 bhp and only 28 mpg?

There are some horrendous losses in there someplace.

Yeah Rob I wouldn't say it was an overworked setup, but it means if I want to have a play around with it later on theres always plenty of untapped potential.

Is there much of a support network? People doing head and cam work on that V6 to free it up some?

 

[Zenithus]

I haven't had much of a look yet to be honest. I'm desperately trying not to spend unneeded money at the moment after buying it, so I'll be waiting for a while yet, but that'll be the sort of thing I look for when the time comes I think.

always kind of liked these... the styling is good, the new one looks great, but just not a fan of the way they drive, feel heavy and cumbersome on the road, although id imagine a few bhp's and some good suspension will sort that!
